What does anyone know about these for optical quality ? Spotted one for sale and contemplating buying it for an astrograph on the EQ6.
Auction finishes Tuesday evening so quick answers appreciated.
Optical Quality is good but no starbright coatings like the modern Celestrons .
They where a very good scope in their day
Probably not compete with a modern SCT because of not having the coatings
